Finally have time to work on the Z4... It was a lot harder to shine a black car than a yellow one .. and it was also because the previous owner did not take good care of the paint.. It took me about 6 hours yesterday and lots of swearings :P but I think the result is well worth the effort. I only applied 1 coat of Autoglym extra gloss protection after claybarring as I ran out of those stuff.. will need to do another 2 coats when I get some more...

Looks great. Claybar is the old slow way of doing stuff try this site TCPGlobal.com and search for detailsupliedepot and find Malco Lite Finish use with a random orbital at 3200 RPM excellent mirror coat.
